Love it when tourist attractions consider putting courtesy wheels out for visitors with access needs. You always feel a bit safer about the experience you are about to encounter once you’ve paid your entry. . . . #accessibletourism #accessibletravel #travelforall #barrierfreetravel #wheelchair #wheelchairtravels #inclusion #inclusionmatters #inclusivetourism #accessible #accessneeds #coromandel #waterworks #courtesywheels #mobilityscooter #accessibility #familytravel #accessforall #accessforallabilities #enable #disabled @thewaterworkscoromandel this was an AWESOME day for us! Something for our entire family ... Nana, Pop, our Finlay and the kids all had such fun that a return is a must. Nestled in the beautiful Coromandel bush with a bubbling steam and natural swimming hole this makes a great day out. Real Kiwi quirkiness at its best. Full of fantastic ideas of how we can put water to work! Loved the laughs all around ... even had the grandparents back on the swings 👩🏻‍🦼♿️✅❤️ . . . #accessibletravel #wheelchairtravel #barrierfree #coromandel #waterworks #familytravel #inclusivetourism #accessforall #travelforall #kiwi #quirky #humour #fun #tourismnz #tripadvisor #accessiblereviews #disabilitytravel #abilitynotdisability #travel #newzealandguide This is one stunning beach on the Coromandel Peninsular. #haheibeach #coromandel @cathedralcovewatertaxi thank you so much for considering to take us onboard your water taxi. The ramp onboard is 600mm wide with handrails either side. There is a step over into taxi but Hayden was happy to lift our Finlay’s Hippocampe onboard with him in it. He did add that they have had the occasional wheelchair user onboard. . . The company is considering re-designing their boat to make it more accessible. Possibly widening the ramp width and taking out the step over to access. Be great for something like this to happen to make it more accessible. Look forward to keeping in touch with this inclusive water taxi company. We’d love to easily get to Cathedral Cove ♿️✅❤️ one day. . . On this occasion we felt Hahei Beach just suited us fine. However, a better located mobility park and a rolled out beach access mat would have made accessibility spot on! Thankfully heaps of helping hands were on hand to make access possible through the softer sand. . . . #accessiblebeaches #travelforall #inclusivetourism @makingtrax.co.nz we think these guys would be a winner for the inclusive directory ♿️✅ . . @top10holidayparks this beach wheelchair would be an awesome addition to your hire equipment list. Especially @hotwaterbeachtop10 🙏 . . We are loving this part of New Zealand @purenewzealand @tourism_nz @tourismnz #accessibletravel #wheelchairtravel #beachwheelchair #familytravel #travelblogger Really strange to see this burnt orange sky descend on us in the Coromandel today. It is 3pm ... a strange and eerie light that reminds us how connected we are to our neighbours in Australia. . . . #australianbushfires2020 #newzealand #fire #globalwarming #australia #burntorange #thinking #feeling Nothing like getting up early and heading off for a walk in a new location. We found an accessible way up to Shakespeare’s Cliff Lookout from Flaxmill Bay today. You are able to drive up and freedom park on a loosely gravelled terrain, then it’s a short loop around to some step free viewing platforms. We even found an accessible loo available too. . . . #accessiblelookouts #accessibleviews #accessiblewalks #accessibletourism #accessibletourism #travelforall #whitianga #accessiblewhitianga #wheelchairtravels #familytravel #stepfree #barrierfree #powerchair #coromandel #accessiblebeaches #accessiblenewzealand #inclusionmatters Happy Christmas to you all. We checked out the lights on Franklin Road in Ponsonby tonight. . . Always fun to visit here with the family and listen to the carol singing along the way. . . #accessorize #christmas #travel #familytravel #wheelchair #franklinroad #ponsonby #auckland #lights #christmaseve #accessibletravel #travelforall #santa #inclusion #barrierfree #familytime
